FREIGHT. DEPOT NEEDED.
At recent meeting OF the Manchester
Retail Merchants Association Messrs. T..
W. Wci.igeT, J p. Robinson, and i.
Woodson Nunnaly were appointed com
miltee TO wait on the officials Of the Atlantic
Colst.Line and urge upon them the in
poTtancc Of establishing a freight depOi ia
this city. This committee will perform The
dutY assigned them carly in next week.
The need Of a depot for the dischirge
Of freight coming over this linc
from the North is becoming more applrc Mt
daily, and it |, matter OF surprise thIt one
has not been established lOUg ago. Tue
City Council, realizing the importance OF
his measure and the benefits TO he derived
BY our merchants, more than year ago
adopted a resolution, offered by Mr.
Bradley, urging the railroad luthori-
lies to consider the matter aud to
take this step. 4, A few months lttcr
the Merchants Association appointed
a committee to wait upon the authorities.
The members OF the committee had plea
SAINT conference with Mr.. Fred. Scott.
pre- ident Of the Richmond and Petersburg
road, in relation to the mttter, and ftOn
what be said they were very much enconr-
aged, and entertained the hope that the mtt-
ter would receive favorable consideration.
No action in the premises has aS yet been
taken looking 10 the location OF the depot,
and the merchants Propose making anot ler
rilort. There is perhaps no c'ty IN the
United States rs large ~ M1nchc.ter Wlerc
a railroad passes through It and does not
either receive or deliver freight. There j.
a passenger depot at the foot oi Twelfth
street. Several OF the trains pass this
without stopping uuesS they are ll1gted
down. The consequences are TINT Dls.el'

The most desirable location for the de-

point j. easy OF access to tue merchants of
both Manchester and SwinSbOrO'. In the
two places there Is a pOpulltion OF near
10000, and large number of mcr-
chants. mlny Of whom buy their goods
North and have them shipped direct.
II Is hardship that our merchants

Shcn they might be delivered within fcw
squares OF their doors with no cost and
but little additional trouble to tue coal
pany. 1t is, therefore, earnestly desired
that the railroad ofiiclllS will consider this
question, which Is such an impOrtint matter
10 our merchants, aud Locate 4 depot at ne
intersection OF Hull street and the railroad
or at some other suitable place.
ELECTRIC LIGHT.

Of furnishing light to private consumers.
